About the Game

Race for the Arctic is a travel adventure inside the journal of the Diplomat. On her voyage through the Arctic Circle she meets a series of unique characters, each of whom is racing in their own way to ensure the survival of the Arctic, just as the Diplomat is racing to tell their stories before it is too late. Set in a variety of real-world locations in the Arctic, the game characters are directly inspired by real people and communities who live and work in the Arctic.

THE GAME FEATURES:

  • A pop-up book you explore to find pieces of the Diplomat's story. You follow routes, collect momentos, and look for key locations.

  • Different real locations in the Arctic that you open as dioramas and complete to move the story forward.

  • A series of puzzles unique to every diorama and story.

  • A series of unique characters inspired by and co-created with people who live and work in the Arctic.
